I Am New

My 8 1/2 month old daughter has gone through some bowel surgeries due to twisted bowel and obstructions, but has been doing good for 3 months now. We have introduced new foods, waiting the standard 4 days in between. As of starting baby oatmeal, she has had chronic diahrrea. We do not think it is neccessarily an allergy, b/c she has no other symptoms of an allergy. Her poops seem very stinky and not the same as usual. We do not have any health history of my adopted husband, but I know there is no celiac on my side. I am wondering if it could be celiac disease? I want to call my pediatrician, but I am afraid they may think I am crazy. I just have this instinct that something is not right ( and always have when my DD has gotten sick). We stopped the oatmeal, and did rice cereal instead, and it seemed to get better. Thank you for any advice/stories you have.

I've read other posts that indicated problems with oatmeal for children. My youngest (almost 8 months) is going to be starting oatmeal in probably another month so we'll find you how he does. Have you introduced all the fruits and veggies that you want to at this time? Has there been a problem with any other foods? I'm assuming the surgeries were 3 or more months ago. Do the doctor indicate how long she would take to heal and if any foods may be problems during that time? It sounds suspiscious to me, but whether she has an allergy or an intolerant to gluten would need to be researched further, either by blood test, allergy tests, stool tests by enterolab (www.enterolab.com), or testing individual glutenous foods and seeing how she does. Do you plan on trying a multigrain cereal anytime soon? I would give her a couple weeks to get back to normal after he oats and try the multigrain if you choose to go that route. Document anything you give her and whether there was a reaction or not.

I think that you should have her tested for oatmeal allergy and celiac disease. Then you will know for sure.

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels...

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost...
